The McLaren F1 was
produced since 1993. This supercar is available as a 3-seat coupe.
Only 107 of these cars were built and it was the fastest production
car at it's time.

The McLaren F1 was
developed by a Grand Prix team. It is powered by a custom-built BMW
6.1-liter engine, developing 620 horsepower. It hits the 100 km/h
(60 mph) mark in just 3.1 seconds, while after 30 seconds speed of
the McLaren F1 will be over 300 km/h. Only a few supercars have such
a fast acceleration.

This car has not only got
plenty of raw power, but it also handles well. It is worth
mentioning that the steering is rather heavy, as well as the brakes.
Everything is made that easy, tat no special skils are required to
drive this car.

When the engine is
free-reving it sounds just as an ordinary car's. Unfortunately there
is plenty of engine and road noise inside the McLaren F1 and you
have to raise your voice for the passengers to hear you, but it
doesn't really matter as this car 'blends' with the driver much
better than any other supercar.

The McLaren F1 is a very
desirable supercar, but it's astonishing price and limited
production numbers mean that you will be very lucky to see one. Only
21 car was reportedly sold to the USA. It's production ended in
1998, but in reality it's not even a 'production' car with only a
tiny number being built.

To make it light a number
of expensive materials were used including carbon fiber, titanium,
magnesium and gold. Furthermore it was on of the first production
cars to have a carbon fiber monocoque chassis.

Interior of the McLaren
F1 is spartan - not too nice and not too impressive, but everything
is made very functional. All the mayor controls are positioned
clearly and are easy to read.

Driving position of the
McLaren F1 is unusual. Driver seats in the center of the car and it
somehow resembles the F1 cars. It is tricky to get in front of the
wheel and it takes time to practice it.

It is claimed that the F1
passed it's crash tests successfully and is as safe in a car
accident as other road cars.

Advantages:
Developed by a Grand Prix team the McLaren F1 is much more charming
than most of the supercars. Easy to drive for everyone.

Disadvantages:
It takes some time to get in front of the wheel and this process is
uncomfortable. Interior do not impresses.
